Are Hogwarts Acceptance Letters Historically Accurate?
Something which has never quite made sense about the Harry Potter universe is their rejection of muggle technology. JK Rowling makes it quite clear that Arthur Weasley is seen as an odd-ball because of his interest in all things muggle. In fact, the Wizarding World seems to be stuck in the Middle Ages in several…

A Christmas Gift Guide For Stationery Lovers
It’s almost Christmas so I thought I would do a gift guide where I share some of the best stationery items to give as presents. I may have stretched the definition of ‘stationery’ for a few of these items. But I wanted to mention related items which could make good gifts for someone who likes…

It’s difficult talking about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child because I really really don’t want to give away any spoilers. So I think I will have to split this into three parts. This is the non spoiler part, then there will be a part for the story spoilers and another for play spoilers. That…

I Designed A Film Poster For Harry Potter
For my contextual studies project we had to redesign 3 of our favourite movie posters into specific design styles. First I had to do a Harry Potter poster in the style of Saul Bass. I also designed posters for Snowpiercer and Wall.E. This was such a fun project because I got to work with films…
